Like the child had a choice in the matter.

What child? A fetus lacking a nervous system and brain is not a child.

That is an opinion not shared by everyone. What makes it a human being?

I'll ask again Carm, what about instances of rape? According to you that child is a person at conception. Is it okay to abort a pregnancy as a result of rape?

We didn't come from a fetus, we at one point were a fetus.
It is a human being.

Yes...because Ireland has such a glorious history of foster care!

http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/chi...00800.html

Quote:Foster children are being placed with families with criminal records, a history of alcohol abuse, and possible mental health or drug issues, and are not re-checked unless “something goes wrong”.

The findings, which come just a month after a damning report into 196 deaths of children in care over the past decade, are revealed in four highly critical HSE internal audit investigations.

And C4...I don't give a flying fuck about your beliefs.

As someone once observed, 'if men got pregnant you could get an abortion on every street corner.'

Parent and child are one - always.

What does that even mean? The DNA of the fetus is not the same as the mother's. How are they 'one'?

"This six month thing" is the minimum time it takes to form a nervous system and brain in a human fetus.

How is that Islamic?
